| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is video clip from an oral history interview with Joe McQueen. "They would. They'd call me and wake me up and I'd get up and just go start a jam session. I don't care when you started one, you'd look up in an hour or so and that place would be full of people because people didn't know how to go to bed. They'd be up there all night and up and down 25th Street. I remember when traffic was just like this all night long on 25th Street. The trains were coming in back then. In 1950, I started working on the railroad. They had 82 passenger trains a day in and out of Ogden. That train station was just like that all day and all night. People would be coming off the trains and coming up there and we'd have the sessions going and people would be coming down there from everywhere." |
